From 1938-1946 she worked as a freelance photographer in China and, after the war, in Hong Kong, Sarawak, and Australia. During her stay in China, she took a large number of photographs, of which probably fewer than 1,000 have been printed and published. From the perspective of a Western photographer, her photos show China in the 1930s and 40s in various areas, such as the architectures, the landscapes, the people, the street scenes, etc. Hedda Hammer Morrison (1908-1991): Gruppe von Fotografien China, ca. 1933-1946 18 x 13,6 (27,5 x 18,8) cm Mappe mit 11 Gelatinesilberabzügen.
